Several candidates for Allentown City Council have announced
they will be campaigning together as a slate.

David Melman, Alfonso Todd and Kim Velez, all challengers,
will combine efforts in the final days before the May 21 primary, according to
a news release distributed Monday. All three will run on a campaign of “government
transparency, community inclusiveness and city engagement,” the release states.

Last month, Melman, Todd and Velez also joined forces to
oppose Allentown’s proposed water and sewer lease. Challengers Camen Bell and
Daryl Hendricks are also on the ballot seeking four-year seats on the board.
